It seems both of you are a little stressed by this. Let's take a moment.
@Endless Night - there is nothing more frustrating to a GM than a player who asks continual questions and takes no initiative. It does nothing but put stress back onto them. Most GMs want help developing a world, fleshing out the details and moving the plot via collaboration. Anything less, and they might as well be writing a novel. It's not fair to say "it's not my job" and then expect them to babysit you.
@Tokugawa - I know what it's like coming back to a story and trying to choose how to restart or re-imagine it. If it's a good story, it will be timeless. I've also done my fair share of cursing, and it doesn't help. Your players will go on the defensive and shut their eyes to the message you are delivering. My advice is to stop answering questions and concentrate on setting the scene. Just you and your roleplay. Forget about the others for a moment and ask yourself why you want a roleplay instead of a novel. I find that's the best question to ask myself when I'm furious, and it usually brings me back to a place where collaboration is possible.
